Linux 2.5.15-dj2

[Dave Jones]

Grab some of the more fun bits from Linus' public bk tree, and
merge in another boatload of patches that turned up elsewhere.
Quite a large set of changes, so tread carefully.

As usual,..

Patch against 2.5.15 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

Merged patch archive: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/

Check http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html before reporting
known bugs that are also in mainline.

Hi Dave,

I got the following during "make oldconfig":

<--  snip  -->

* PCMCIA/CardBus support

PCMCIA/CardBus support (CONFIG_PCMCIA) [M/n/y/?]
  CardBus support (CONFIG_CARDBUS) [Y/n/?]

scripts/Configure: [: : unary operator expected

* PCI Hotplug Support

Support for PCI Hotplug (EXPERIMENTAL) (CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI) [M/n/y/?]

<--  snip  -->


The fix is simple:

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.
